My High Tea was a great success, thoroughly enjoyed by all. The food was tasty and it all looked lovely on the table. I took some photos - will try and download them on to my computer this week and put them on the forum.

Thank you all for your ideas

Well done Hally, that was no mean feat you attempted and pulled off.  Bet the visitors were very impressed.

Thanks for the tip about the rice flour - I read this too late DH bought me 2 boxes, but will try and mill my own when I run out. The next batch were perfect, its is really delicious shortbread.

Thanks again

Yes Judy they were impressed.
Half hour before they were due to arrive I received an sms from my friend - I was too scared to answer it, her sister is having a baby and is due any day - I thought Oh no they are going to cancel and I have spent all this time cooking -plus what am I going to do with it all.

They were just checking the time!

Hopefully none of your Royal Albert got broken.  Looks stunning on a white tablecloth, thanks for the pic hally, bet they are still talking about their day at your place.

Hally I love the dinner set too. Wow you even have the jug and teapot. I'm a sucker for Royal Doulton. Thank goodness Mum loved it too as I inherited hers.
Your table really looks beautiful. Congratulations.

Congratulations Hally that looks so lovely, and you served it on my favourite china.

I've been collecting Old Country Roses for years.  My crystal cabinet is groaning, but it's lovely to have and be able to use it on special occasions.
